6-3 6-3... 6-3.

By:
The only bet i thought might not win was Nadal -7.
|
|
By:
don't want to get ahead of myself here,boys
but just get the impression rafa's got a real squeak here |
|
By:
wat price would u have gave nadal not being broken?
|
|
By:
this just doesnt feel like a grand slam, feels like a masters series, what a let down this and wimbledon were profits aside
|
|
By:
This must be Rafa's easiest Slam along with Roland Garros 2010.
|
|
By:
RG was easier no?
|
|
By:
Whats the point of a fist pump when you are sttruggling to win your own serves?
|
|
By:
I mean the thing is the matches Nadal was a set down in here were matches he was never losing. He was never losing to Daniel and Mayer.
|
|
By:
Mayer was hitting really well tho, if he went 2 down i think hed have lost
|
|
By:
This slam has had the worst finals since when? Though maybe you could argue Wimbledon's were even worse actually.
|
|
By:
because too many overhyped players who think they're way better than they really are
don't live up to the hype when it counts leaving the true warriors with lesser oppos to beat not their fault they can only beat those put in front of them |

By:
The men's slams have been crap since AO.
|
|
By:
Like all of the others had minimal good matches, and trains at the end to an obvious winner.
|
|
By:
In my opinion the way the draws came out destroyed the tournament. There was no one in the bottom half.
|
|
By:
Who was the best player in this tourney that could have challenged nadal in a final?
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Del potro if he wasnt as fatigiued
|
|
By:
I feel bad for thinking (at the time) that Nishikori v Cilic wasn't much of a spectacle. That's an all time classic when compared with this garbage.
|
|
By:
only player nadal could lose to over 5 sets
|
|
By:
I know Anderson's new thing is about fist pumping all the time, but it does look a bit ridiculous when he's getting destroyed.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Think del potro gave nadal more of a game than federer would have
|
|
By:
Nadal did look vulnerable early doors so you could theoretically have seen someone beating him then.
He had a very, very soft draw to get going in. I mean he was playing clay court challenger players for 3 rounds pretty much. |
|
By:
But it's looked a Nadal train in 2nd week. Federer was playing terrible.
|
|
By:
The idea of this is that Nadal wins the US Open playing a beatable standard so it encourages people like Raonic/Kyrgios/Zverev to come out firing at the Australian Open.
|
|
By:
Nick could beat this Nadal IF he wasn't so injury prone and lazy.
|
|
By:
Who will be favourite for AO?
|
|
By:
Zverev
|
|
By:
so even in a year where Fed wins 2 Slams and has a 100% record against Rafa so far, Rafa still remains a threat to overtake his Slam record.
|
|
By:
Murray and Djokovic have been out of the equation all year long, Federer bottled the clay court season, skipped the French and beat an injured Cilic in the final, Wawrinka was awful in the final against Nadal (didn't have much choice) and now we end with this procession, it has been a bleak year but the women's has hardly been better, Azarenka hasn't really been on the scene since her part time come back, Sharapova's comeback has been thrawted due to lack of wildcards and match fitness coming into this slam, Serena won a slam when pregnant aged 35, Muguruza beat her 38 year old sister at Wimbldon, Penko won a slam with the worst second serve I've ever seen from a slam champion and Sloane beat a crate load of bang average players in the grand scheme of things to win at Flushing Meadows (plus an OAP Semi GOAT).
We haven't had two players in a slam final at peak age playing peak tennis. |

By:
Zverev wins AO
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
I dunno, 3 is a lot at his age. In Nadal's mind he had a huge chance to make it 1. I still think 3 is way too big. I doubt Nadal even wins 3 more.
|
|
By:
No way will Novak be AO favourite pre-tournament.
|
|
By:
kyrois definatly the game to beat him, but is lazy and gives up easy
